Him ... Herod could not kill Him ... The Pharisees could not confuse Him ...

E) When I fall, He lifts me up ... When I fail, He forgives me ...

* When I am weak, He is strong ... When I am afraid, He is my courage ...

* When I stumble, He steadies me ... When I am hungry, He feeds me ...

* When I face troubles and trials, He is with me ... When I face persecution, He shields me ...

* When I have needs, He meets them ... And when I face death, He will be there to carry me home! * Jesus is everything, for everybody, everywhere, every time and every way!

* He is God – He is faithful!
